Making Family Child Care Work by Rachel Cox,Canada. Status of Women Canada. Policy Research Pdf
This study presents issues associated with the employment status of family childcare providers who work from their homes. The 1st chapter describes in general terms the criteria for determining employment status. It reviews decisions handed down by courts and tribunals on the employment status of regulated family childcare providers in Ontario and Alberta and describes the impact of such litigation on working conditions. The 2nd chapter looks at how family childcare providers in British Columbia, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador may or may not be eligible for the benefits and protection of certain labour and employment laws. Recommendations complete the analysis, emphasizing potential solutions that recognize alternatives to employee status as the gateway for accessing the various types of social protection.
